At 2 months old you:
Weigh about 11 lbs and are tall for your age (already in 6 month onsies).
Smile very easily! When you get happy you wiggle your head back and forth and your arms and legs go straight! It's like you hey so happy, you can't handle it!
Only cry when you're tired or in your carseat.
Still love to be swaddled to sleep.
Are sleeping 8-10 hours at night!!
Take 45 min-2 hour long naps!
Going to daycare on Tues/Thurs and they always say how easy you are.
Still a little fussy in the evenings, but not terrible. You have started to go to bed earlier now, closer to 8 instead of 10.
Love bath time, so you get one every night (along with a massage- love that clean baby smell)! It helps calm you down every time.
Tolerate tummy time for a few minutes, before you start fussing. Not your favorite thing bc you tend to spit up.
Sit in your vibrating chair and follow us with your head as we walk around.
Really love to be held so you can see what's going on in your world.
Love to see your sister and you always smile at her.
We can't imagine life without you now! Mommy's biggest fear right now is SIDS. I also worry about you at the daycare and them not giving you enough attention and giving you the paci too much/not enough and if the pacifier strap might choke you and if you're napping well and if your crib is under the window and if the sun is on your face and if you're getting a sunburn...etc...sigh.
Update on Gwendolyn at 22 months:
Gwen, you are such a big girl and love to help!
Whenever you spill your milk you always run to get a "towa" from the kitchen to clean it up!
You also love to watch mommy change diapers and want me to clean your "han" (hands) before you touch Penelope.
You are so smart and learn things so quickly; the other day I told you it makes mommy happy when you say thank you, and a little while later when I brought you some strawberries I heard a little voice say "ta you"! It melted my heart.
You delete all your final consonants still, but you have started to say /b/, /s/, and /l/ blends! No /f/ yet; I love when you say "ply" (for fly).
You still refuse to say "milk" and will only sign (or cry) for it.
You are trying so hard to assert yourself and do things on your own! You say "no" whenever we want to help you, and end up with applesauce all over you.
Except you still love to be carried and will usually throw yourself on the ground when leaving a place. It's very difficult when you do this and mommy is carrying Penelope. I wish I could still pick you up every time you wanted, but many times I can't and that makes you mad. :(
You've started to use the potty and tell us "poo" whenever you have to go!
You still love baby and bobo, and have them at daycare, but you've stopped crying when we drop you off now!
You are not a happy girl upon waking up...it takes you a while after your nap to cheer up.
We love hearing your little voice say more and more! You say your sisters name a lot and ask to hold her, but then when you do, you either quickly pull your hands away or say "cheese!" (Indicating you want us to take your picture).
You want Penelope around for everything you do, and live to put her toes on your belly. Maybe because you love to put your ties on everything (and them you say "toe toes" while pointing at them, like "hey look, my toe toes ate on Mattie/my banana/the baby/the crayon/the potty/etc".
You still talk about "abi and neh" every day and love being around other kids!
You are so cute with your little self, and we can't get enough of you! I love this age...
